Of course, Jules didn't know that after she lost consciousness, her body didn't collapse. Instead, she remained sitting blankly. A fraction of a second later, she moved again, stretching her body greatly. At this moment, she was no longer Jules, but the mysterious woman named Maya.

“I say…disturbing a lady's rest at will is an unforgivable sin. Are you sure you are prepared to bear my wrath?”

After a simple stretch, Maya spoke, turning her gaze towards the old geezer. At this moment, her gaze became very hazy, like a dream.

“Oh, that depends on the cause of the matter,” the old geezer said with a faint smile, but a trace of solemnity appeared in his eyes. “I don’t think I should be punished if I woke you up because of this matter.”

“What's the reason? You can tell me,” Maya glanced at the old geezer, with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. “But I want to make it clear, if your reason doesn't satisfy me, you will be deprived of your appetite. Do you want to experience the feeling of looking at food but not being able to eat it? I am very willing to help.”

“Your threat…” The old geezer shook his head with a wry smile, but his heart turned cold.

There was no doubt that, logically speaking, this threat was too weak. But only he knew how serious this threat was. The old geezer's hobby was eating, but few people knew that this was not just his hobby, but also the source of his strength. If the mysterious woman could really curb his appetite, then his loss would be great. It might even cause serious damage.

If it were an ordinary person, the old geezer would not believe this threat. But the mysterious woman was different. This was a person who had opened divine consciousness. Even if her strength had declined after sleeping, the old geezer still didn't dare to gamble that she couldn't do it.

So, facing the mysterious woman's seemingly joking words, the old geezer could only smile awkwardly, without daring to respond at all.

The mysterious woman frowned, then waved her hand. “Not fun, not fun at all.”

“Forget it, I should move around after sleeping for so long. Just say what you need.”

The old geezer nodded with a smile, then said, “I woke you up just to let you see the starry sky below.”

“What's so good about the starry sky?” the mysterious woman said boredly, glancing at the bottom casually. But in an instant, she was stunned. After a while, she slowly turned her head.

“This is…”

“This is the legendary ruins,” the old geezer replied, his heart sinking slightly. As expected, this mysterious woman recognized this starry sky. She recognized this planet. Otherwise, she wouldn't have revealed such an attitude.

“I think this reason should be enough…” The mysterious woman didn't speak. Instead, she looked at the starry sky below and the huge ruins planet again for a while. A layer of mist shrouded her eyes. At this moment, she didn't explain anything, and the old geezer didn't disturb her. He just let her sink into it quietly.

This went on for a long time. The woman then withdrew her gaze, sighing softly.

“It's been a long time since I've seen such a magnificent creation. It's as if it was just yesterday.”

“So, you know this place?” The old geezer's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly asked.

This was the purpose of him awakening the mysterious woman. Because he knew that as a strong person from before the Great Chaos, the mysterious woman would definitely not be unfamiliar with Krodir. Then, at her level, she would definitely have come into contact with some of Krodir's secrets. Among them…of course, this planet would also be included.

Now it seemed that he had guessed right.

It was a pity that the mysterious woman was not so easy to talk to. Facing his questioning, she just glanced at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, then shook her head.

“What do you want to know from me? The origin of this planet? Or the passage to enter the ruins?”

“Hehe.” The old geezer laughed awkwardly, without answering. At their level, many words no longer needed to be explained, and he believed that the mysterious woman knew what he meant.

Sure enough, the mysterious woman pondered for a while, then said with a smile, “Actually, I do know something.”

The old geezer's heart relaxed. It seemed that this adventure had paid off.

But unexpectedly, the mysterious woman changed the subject and continued, “But why should I tell you?”

“Although I have been asleep for many years, I have also learned some general information during this time. Krodir no longer exists. In the late period of the Great Chaos, it was destroyed by you, by all civilizations. In that case, why should I tell you their secrets?”

“No matter what this planet means, it has nothing to do with me, and you shouldn't even think about getting information from me.”

Speaking of this, the mysterious woman stretched again, saying with a lazy face, “I'm tired, I was woken up before I was fully awake, so boring.”

As she spoke, she was about to close her eyes, her body softly collapsing.

“Wait, wait!” The old geezer hurriedly spoke.

He had risked awakening the mysterious woman, not just to chat a few words. No matter what, he hoped to get some useful information from the mysterious woman, even if it was just a little. And don't forget, he was helping the mysterious woman with something, the old geezer was not a 'good person' who did things without asking for anything in return.

“What else is there?” The mysterious woman was stunned, looking at the old geezer with a puzzled expression. “Oh right, are you going to give me compensation? Waking me up with such a boring reason, if you don't give me compensation, I will be angry, and I will make you lose your appetite… The old geezer's forehead suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

“The matter of compensation can be discussed later,” the old geezer wiped away a head of cold sweat, and said seriously, “Now I need your help.”

“Why should I help you?” The mysterious woman blinked her beautiful eyes, saying curiously. That innocent appearance really seemed like a little girl, causing the old geezer to involuntarily feel a trace of guilt.

But the old geezer was indeed worthy of being a strange uncle who had lived for hundreds of years. He unhesitatingly erased the shadow in his heart.

“Don't forget, I promised you your request last time. Don't you want to give me a reward?”

“Promised my request?” The mysterious woman was stunned, then smiled dumbly. “Are you talking about Jules?”

“Yes.”

“But you haven't done it yet,” the mysterious woman replied with a smile. “Don't think that I don't know anything just because I'm asleep. You haven't done this thing at all during this time, you just let Jules follow you. As for the relationship between her and Blood Eyes, you haven't even made the slightest effort. Do you think I'm a fool?”

“It seems that you really need to be punished a little, what do you think about being a vegetarian?”

“Wait, don't worry.” The old geezer was immediately startled. Vegetarian? It would be better to kill him. He liked to eat all his life, and he especially liked all kinds of meat. If he was told to be a vegetarian, it would probably take his life in just a week. That would be worse than death.

The situation was stronger than people, and the old geezer could only bow his head and show weakness.

“Isn't this still in progress… But I need your help now. Please don't mind these small details.”

“You haven't given me a reason to help you.” Speaking of this, the mysterious woman became serious. She said seriously, “You should know what this means, it's not something that can be compromised by a small exchange between you and me. Even if you want to make a deal, the weights of both sides must be equal. You wouldn't think that I can tell you everything with just a simple sentence, right… The old geezer fell silent, in fact, he also knew. Before the Great Chaos, the principle of equivalent exchange was popular in the universe. To get something, you must pay an equal weight, and no one was an exception. Except for conquest.

But he was also prepared with a speech. So he said unhurriedly.

“I can't meet your requirements, because I don't know what you need. But I'm thinking, maybe you should consider some other factors.”

“Oh?” The mysterious woman blinked, signaling the old geezer to continue.

“The situation before the Great Chaos is no longer verifiable,” the old geezer nodded. He said seriously, “But you also need to admit a fact. That is, the final destruction of the Krodir people was because of the attack by all the races in the universe.”

“No, in fact, it's not the entire universe,” the mysterious woman smiled slightly. “Only a part, and a small part. It's just that they occupy the top sequence of the universe's civilizations. They have enormous power.”

“Oh?” The old geezer's eyes flashed, this piece of information had not been verified. All records believed that Krodir was destroyed by the hostility of the entire universe. Unexpectedly, there was this secret. But of course, he wouldn't show it on the surface, and then continued.

“But no matter what, Krodir has been destroyed. And the direct culprit that caused its destruction was the powerful energy civilization.”

“That's right,” the mysterious woman nodded, recognizing the old geezer's words.

Looking at the tower shield's expression, a cold light suddenly flashed in the old geezer's eyes. “Then do you know what the situation is in the universe now?”

“Hmm?” The mysterious woman was slightly stunned, then frowned. “If you want to say something, just say it quickly. I don't want to go around in circles with you.”

“Okay.” The old geezer didn't hesitate, and described the current situation of the universe to the mysterious woman. Then he sighed.

“After so many years, human civilization and alien civilizations have gradually entered the sequence of advanced civilizations. But the more they improve, the more they feel the suppression and exploitation of advanced civilizations on us. Gradually, a kind of hidden confrontation has gradually formed. This is not the result we want, but we have no choice.”

“In a sense, we are already on the same path as the original Krodir. It's just that they are more intense than us.”

“Lord Maya, you witnessed the war during the Great Chaos period with your own eyes. Do you want to see us being suppressed by the energy civilization forever? Or do you want to see the rise of another Krodir? Help us gain the power to resist?”

Speaking of this, the old geezer stopped speaking and looked at the mysterious woman seriously. He was gambling, gambling that this mysterious woman was the same as he thought. She was a descendant of the race that resisted advanced civilizations in that distant era.

This was not a good bet, but the old geezer believed in his own judgment.

Time passed little by little, the mysterious woman's expression remained unchanged, she just silently looked at the distant mountains. The distant birds chirped, constantly jumping and flying, and the mysterious woman's face gradually relaxed.

Finally, in the old geezer's hopeful gaze. She said lightly.

“What do you want to know?”

“Everything.”

“That's impossible.” The mysterious woman pondered for a moment, then said, “But I do know a little about the planet under your feet. This is a long story…”

“I'm not very clear about the specific situation, but I remember hearing a legend a long, long time ago. That is, Krodir, the most powerful civilization in the universe, planned to build a super-scale creation sequence. They called it…”

“The Beginning of the End.”
